A city has banned all public celebrations of Christmas to avoid "spreading Christianity" and ordered the removal of all festive displays, decorations, and references from public view to keep the streets "clean." Residents in Langfang, a city near Beijing, China will no longer be able to carry out any related religious activities, in what is the latest attempt to clamp down on Christians in the region.

For a minute I thought that was NM. As in New Mexico. Which would’nt surprise me

Good luck with that. The Chinese love their festivals, and they are very good at displaying that mood.
Even over here in the Chinatowns of San Francisco and Oakland. I can see their creative skills during the New Year celebrations.
Why is Christianity such a threat to the utopian society envisioned by Leftists? Because creating such a society goes against everything the Bible tells us. Liberals who claim Jesus was a socialist never read it, or twist its meaning. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods”. Liberals break that commandment every day. It’s part of their own alternative morality.
And this is the Communist manufacturing base from which we buy cheaply made, shoddy, toxic junk.
How many FR accounts do you have? It must be at least 4 by now.
There was a time not very long ago at all where such a story could easily be pegged as pure satire.
Not anymore.
To all Christians, practice your faith anyway. Say Merry Christmas.
Beginning with Israel and Rome, empires have sought to wipe out Christianity. Thousands of years and petty tyrants have sworn to rid themselves of Christianity, and yet, by God’s sovereignty He remain an ongoing influence in the affairs of all men.
China ,everyone knows you have NO FREEDOM in China
My sons college friend is from China and claims to be Christian. We are giving him a Bible in Chinese Standard and NIV English. Him reading the Bible could get him arrested in China and the Bible might be confiscated when he returns. So now is his opportunity to show him the Christian faith.
He is joining us to celebrate Christmas.
I’m sure the “pope” is OK with that, since he has turned over the church in China to the communist Chinese.
(note, pope, “communist” = “atheist”)

What China does in their country is none of our business unless they are planning an attack on us in some manner. Having a theology about Christmas, which was a European tradition anyway, is totally up to them. I don’t agree with Chinese new year. But I don’t care if they celebrate it. Not my monkey. But don’t expect it to be made a national holiday here. Then it becomes another day for the feds to get a day off and whose holiday do they have to combine to get it on the schedule?

I thought it WAS satire!
I hate to say it, but when I saw the title I wondered if it was some place in California or maybe Seattle doing this.
That’s great. This will be a Christmas he will always remember.
Contrast that here in the US where we allow Communists to practice their “faith” freely and without restriction.
We American, non communists, can debate the evils of Communism with Communists too. Likewise Religion.
America is better than China for this at all levels for this reason.
God Bless America!
